Design representation is a common task in the design process to facilitate learning, analysis, redesign, communication, and other activities. Traditional techniques rely on human expertize manual construction are difficult repeat scale. Here, we present methodology that utilizes readily available large-scale multidisciplinary knowledge base (KB) automatically generate as semantic network, i.e.,...

This paper presents LTAG semantics of focus and focus-sensitive quantifiers which adopts alternative semantics of focus (Rooth 1985 and subsequent work). It proposes that focused lexical items make its contribution at the level of elementary trees, so that each elementary tree is associated with two semantic representations: its ordinary semantic representation and its focus representation. Bas...

We define learning as the generation of meaningful knowledge representations which can be utilized in future decision making. Optimal learning entails that these knowledge representations be integrated with prior knowledge. In this paper, we introduce a knowledge representation based on an integration of a variety of shallow semantic parsing techniques. Entity detection, event detection, semant...

This paper introduces Petri Nets (Peterson 1981) into the vexed question of lexical semantic representation. We argue that Petri Nets can offer new insights into the organization of lexical meaning. Petri Nets can furthermore be translated directly into linear logic, thus ensuring compatibility with the glue logic semantic construction already defined within LFG (Dalrymple 1999). The potential ...

Despite showing an overtly simple structure, the semantic process in classic literary-narrative discourse conforms to complicated semiotic systems. As a result, semio-semantics is deemed as one of the most scientific, reliable tools since it helps intradiscursive semio-textual propositions be phenomenologically, and even epistemologically, analyzed. Consequently, the narrative discourse in “The...

Lee, Junkyu. 2013. Grammatical category and L2 lexical representation. Linguistic Research 30(1), 19-32. Despite a wide range of L2 vocabulary research to date, relatively little attention is paid to a fundamental inquiry such as L2 lexical representation. Provided that the changes in L2 learners’ behavioral patterns are correlated with those in the internal mechanism, an investigation into the...

This paper describes the Spanish Resource Grammar, an open-source multi-purpose broad-coverage precise grammar for Spanish. The grammar is implemented on the Linguistic Knowledge Builder (LKB) system, it is grounded in the theoretical framework of Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), and it uses Minimal Recursion Semantics (MRS) for the semantic representation. We have developed a hybri...

We consider lexical operations and their representation in a uniication based lexicon and the role of lexical semantic information. We describe a uniied treatment of the linguistic aspects of sense extension and derivational morphological processes which delimit the range of possible coercions between lexemes and give a preliminary account of how default interpretations may arise.
